CSWF
& FCTL Book Club. “Mad Men and Working Women” co-authored by UCF faculty member Kimberly Wilmot
Voss.
Chapters: Introduction and Chapters
1 – 4. This book offers interpretive
and contextual tools to read the AMC television series
Mad Men,
providing a much-needed historical explanation and exposition regarding the
status of women in an era that has been painted as pre- or non-feminist. In
chapters aimed at helping readers understand women’s lives in the 1960s,
Mad
Men is used as a springboard to explore and discover alternative ways of
seeing women. The book offers historical insight for thinking about serious
issues that «modern» working women continue to face today: balancing their work
and personal lives, competing with other women, and controlling their own
bodies and reproductive choices.
